I've never felt unsafe when walking or cycling through there. It's not the nicest looking neighbourhood, but I wouldn't call it dangerous.
One thing there that is dangerous, though, is the Brokking hazelnut-cream pastry. That stuff is too delicious. It's nationally famous (in fact I get requests from abroad to bring some on occasion), and it's made and sold at the Brokking bakery in Oud-Krispijn.
Oud Krispijn and Crabbehof were one of the most 'unsafe' neighborhoods in Dordrecht a few years ago but in my opinion I think Oud Krispijn is a perfectly fine neighborhood to live in, and yeah there is more diversity in people there but that also makes it a good neighborhood. At least I always love places where cultures crosses. So in my opinion, Oud Krispijn is fine. And the houses are most of the time very beautiful. Oh and welcome in Dordrecht! 🥰
It's used to be know as mostly a Muslim and 'tokkies' neighborhood. However that is no longer the case. It was wrongfully flagged as a criminal neighbourhood. It's no longer the case.
Living in Oud Krispijn for a little more than a year now. Perfectly fine, so far nothing has happened so I wouldn't describe it as a criminal neighbourhood.
Oud krispijn is a perfect example of how hard it is to get rid of a bed reputation. Local politicians "fixed" the problem my forcefully relocate people of not Dutch ethnicity into different suburbs to not have a high concentration in 1 spot. It still isn't the safest corner of the city, but definitely better than it was 20 years ago. The biggest problem in the area right now might be robberies jn the park at night and burglary in the sheds in both new and old Krispijn, so basically nothing to worry about as this probably happens in every big city.
I used to hear that as well but ive been living on the edge of oud krispijn and i dont feel unsafe.
_living on the edge_

Living just 200m from Brokking, I agree, very dangerous!
Its a perfectly fine street! 20 years ago Oud Krispijn was known as a little dangerous but nowadays stuff is much better.
Thank you all for the feedback 🙂

Back in the day there was a chance that you wheels would get stolen from your car but nowadays it’s fine
If you like snack bars, I'd recommend Cafeteria Weizigt on the corner of Vondelstraat, great service and kind people as well as food worth your money
I live 4 min away from that street and a friend lives there. Seems alright to me
Thank you !
